1t is very peculiar to consider the
Tarious systems that are published
to preserve health and become dthle-
tic," remarked well-known athlete
to @ Mail and Express reporter.
After pause the fine specimen
of physical manhood continued: zone
writer will say don't drink green tea
another thinks going to bed on a fu-l
stomach is the road to vigor, and l say
that what is food for one person is
poison for another. 1t is the adapta
billty of each constitution to certain
hygienic rules. 'Oh, you should eat
rare meat to grow stout and strong,
dogmatically asserts one authority.
If rare meat is craved by the appetite
it will be easily assimilated anddigest-
ed, but to force it does more harm
than good. Well-cooked, plain food is
always considered healthier than raw
stuff. l once suffered from dyspepsia
and made study offood. After sever

"Persons in good, sound health, who
have splendid digestion, of course can
Eartake of any OF the food mentioned
without danger, provided they do not
gorge. 1t requires frequently a great
deal of strength to dispose of the gour-
mand's meal, and the food he has eat
en- acts as slow poison, draining his
vitality. Everybody who has good
health constitutes herself or himself
lecturer and authority upon the sub
lect. notice many recommend fre-
quent rub-downs and baths. To
battle and rub the skin dry is health
full after exercise, but too much of it
does more harm than good. There is
limit to all things. Too much ex-
ercise is injurious, and having fine
muscles does not indicate a vigorous,
healthy circulation. Long walks TAX
ell at slow pace do no good whatev-
er. Walking exercise should be brisk
e Tough to start a general prespiration,
and then great benefit is derived.
There is no specific rule to become
healthy and strong save one-plenty
OF open-air exercise, temperance,
wholesome food, sufficient sleep, p,clean-
illness, and good conscience"
